Intended Use
The NMP22 BladderChek Test is indicated for professional and prescription home use as an aid in monitoring bladder cancer patients, in conjunction with standard diagnostic procedures.
Device Description
The NMP22 BladderChek Test for nuclear matrix protein NMP22 is an immunochromatographic assay utilizing monoclonal antibodies in a lateral flow strip encased in plastic. Two different antibodies are used, one as a capture and one as a reporter antibody. Unprocessed patient urine is added to the sample well of the cartridge and allowed to react with the colloidal gold conjugated reporter antibody. If the antigen is present in urine, it will interact with the reporter conjugate to form an immune complex. The reaction mixture flows through the membrane, which contains zones of immobilized antibodies. In the Test (T) zone, antigen-conjugate complexes are trapped by the capture antibody, forming a visible line if the concentration of antigen in urine is elevated. The procedural Control (C) zone contains an immobilized goat anti-mouse IgG-specific antibody that will capture the conjugated antibody independently of the presence or absence of the antigen, thereby always producing a visible line in the Control window. This procedural control assures the operator that each device is working properly.
More Information

No
The device description details a standard immunochromatographic assay (lateral flow test) which relies on chemical reactions and visual interpretation of lines, not AI/ML algorithms. The performance studies focus on reproducibility and clinical metrics, not the training or testing of an AI/ML model. There are no mentions of AI, ML, DNN, or image processing.

No
The NMP22 BladderChek Test is a diagnostic device used to monitor bladder cancer patients, not to treat them. It aids in diagnosis and monitoring, but does not provide therapy.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "an aid in monitoring bladder cancer patients, in conjunction with standard diagnostic procedures," which indicates a diagnostic purpose. The device also detects the presence of NMP22, a biomarker for bladder cancer, and its performance is evaluated using metrics like sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV, which are characteristic of diagnostic tests.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "immunochromatographic assay utilizing monoclonal antibodies in a lateral flow strip encased in plastic," which is a hardware component. The performance studies also describe testing of physical devices.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's an "aid in monitoring bladder cancer patients, in conjunction with standard diagnostic procedures." This indicates it's used to provide information about a patient's health status.
  • Device Description: The description details an "immunochromatographic assay utilizing monoclonal antibodies in a lateral flow strip." This is a common format for in vitro diagnostic tests that analyze biological samples (in this case, urine).
  • Input: The device uses "Unprocessed patient urine" as input. Analyzing biological samples is a hallmark of IVDs.
  • Mechanism: The mechanism involves detecting the presence of a specific analyte (NMP22) in the urine using antibodies. This is a biochemical process performed outside the body.
  • Performance Studies: The document includes detailed performance studies evaluating the device's accuracy (sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV) in detecting bladder cancer markers in urine samples. This type of evaluation is required for IVDs to demonstrate their clinical utility.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of predicate devices (BTA Stat) which are also IVDs further supports this classification.

Therefore, based on the intended use, device description, input, mechanism, and performance evaluation, the NMP22 BladderChek Test clearly fits the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies

Non-Clinical Tests:
Reproducibility by Laboratory Technicians: Precision studies were conducted to determine the percent of devices correctly read. Specimen panels with NMP22 levels of 0, 5, 15, and 25 U/mL were used. Three laboratory technicians each read ten devices per level in random order, (40 devices/lab tech) for five different days. This produced 150 individual reads per panel level (3 readers x 10 devices per panel x 5 days). The experiment was conducted on three separate lots of devices. The overall percent of correct reads was 99.2% (1786/1800).
Reproducibility by Lay Users Compared to Professional Readers: A precision study with a three-level precision panel of prepared samples was conducted to evaluate lay user reproducibility. The three levels were targeted to the concentrations of 2, 10 and 15 U/mL. Five lay readers each conducted assays on two blinded and randomized aliquots of the above samples, resulting in a total of ten results per level. In addition, two professional readers each tested five blinded and randomized replicates of the three-level precision panel, producing 10 results for each level. There was 100% concordance among the lay readers, between professional readers, and between the lay and professional readers. All samples at 2 U/mL were read as negative, and all samples at 10 and 15 U/mL were read as positive.
Performance of Lay Users Compared to Professionals: Field studies were conducted at three locations (N=137 total). Professional medical staff re-read the devices used by the lay users, and also conducted their own testing of the volunteers' samples using new devices. There was an overall 96.4% concordance between the results obtained by lay users and professional staff reading the same device, and 95.6% agreement between professional and lay users testing the same urine sample on different devices.

Description of Device

The NMP22 BladderChek Test is an in vitro diagnostic assay for the qualitative detection of the nuclear matrix protein NMP22 in human urine.

1

Intended Use

The Matritech NMP22 BladderChek Test is indicated for professional and prescription home use as an aid in monitoring bladder cancer patients, in conjunction with standard diagnostic procedures.

Summary and Explanation of the Test

The NMP22 BladderChek Test for nuclear matrix protein NMP22 is an immunochromatographic assay utilizing monoclonal antibodies in a lateral flow strip encased in plastic. Two different antibodies are used, one as a capture and one as a reporter antibody. Unprocessed patient urine is added to the sample well of the cartridge and allowed to react with the colloidal gold conjugated reporter antibody. If the antigen is present in urine, it will interact with the reporter conjugate to form an immune complex. The reaction mixture flows through the membrane, which contains zones of immobilized antibodies. In the Test (T) zone, antigen-conjugate complexes are trapped by the capture antibody, forming a visible line if the concentration of antigen in urine is elevated. The procedural Control (C) zone contains an immobilized goat anti-mouse IgG-specific antibody that will capture the conjugated antibody independently of the presence or absence of the antigen, thereby always producing a visible line in the Control window. This procedural control assures the operator that each device is working properly.

Substantial Equivalence to Predicate Device

Both the NMP22 BladderChek Test and BTA Stat are single use, in vitro diagnostic devices for detecting recurrence in patients with a history of bladder cancer. The assay reactions for the two devices are immunochromatographic, utilizing monoclonal antibodies, and produce qualitative results. Both detect analytes from voided urine. Targeted environment for the two tests is prescription home use. The NMP22 BladderChek Test detects the nuclear matrix protein NMP22, and the BTA Stat Test detects Bladder Tumor Antigen.

Non-Clinical Tests

Reproducibility by Laboratory Technicians

Precision studies were conducted to determine the percent of devices correctly read. Specimen panels with NMP22 levels of 0, 5, 15, and 25 U/mL were used. Three laboratory technicians each read ten devices per level in random order, (40 devices/lab tech) for five different days. This produced 150 individual reads per panel level (3 readers x 10 devices per panel x 5 days). The experiment was conducted on three separate lots of devices.

The percent of correctly read NMP22 BladderChek devices was very consistent across lots (n=3), lab techs (n=3), and days (n=5), where urine specimens with NMP22 levels of 0 and 5 U/mL should have been read as negative and urine specimens with NMP22 levels of 15 and 25 U/mL should have been read as positive.

The overall percent of correct reads was 99.2% (1786/1800). Twelve of the 14 incorrect results were at 5 U/mL (438/450 or 97%), which could be expected near the test cut-off.

Reproducibility by Lay Users Compared to Professional Readers

A precision study with a three-level precision panel of prepared samples was conducted to evaluate lay user reproducibility. The three levels were targeted to the concentrations of 2, 10 and 15 U/mL to represent negative, low positive and positive values. Five lay readers each conducted assays on two blinded and randomized aliquots of the above samples, resulting in a total of ten results per level. In addition, two professional readers each tested five blinded and randomized replicates of the three-level precision panel, producing 10 results for each level. There was 100% concordance among the lay readers. between professional readers, and between the lay and professional readers. All samples at 2 U/mL were read as negative, and all samples at 10 and 15 U/mL were read as positive.

Performance of Lay Users Compared to Professionals

Field studies to evaluate the ability of lay users compared to professional users of the BladderChek test were conducted at three locations. Each volunteer, aged 50 years or older, some with a history of bladder cancer, tested his or her own urine with one device. At each site professional medical staff re-read the devices used by the lay users, and also conducted their own testing of the volunteers' samples using new devices.

To ensure the presence of some positive results in the study, fourteen samples were spiked with NMP22 to approximately 15 U/mL and fourteen with approximately 25 U/mL. In addition, eight devices were made invalid by not having a working control line.

There was an overall 96.4% concordance between the results obtained by lay users and professional staff reading the same device, and 95.6% agreement between professional and lay users testing the same urine sample on different devices. All spiked specimens were read correctly by lay and professional readers.

Clinical Tests

A prospective clinical trial was performed at 23 sites to determine the utility of NMP22 BladderChek as an aid in monitoring patients with a history of bladder cancer. Voided urine samples were collected from 668 patients prior to surveillance cystoscopy, and clinical staff performed the testing. Physicians conducting the cystoscopies were blinded to the device results.

To determine the sensitivity and specificity, patients were classified as positive or negative for bladder cancer. Patients were considered negative if no tumor was seen endoscopically, or, if a lesion was seen, was pathologically determined to be nonmalignant. There were 291 patients diagnosed as having benign disease(s), and 279 with no evidence of urinary tract disease. Patients were considered positive for bladder cancer if a tumor was seen during cystoscopy, and, if removed was pathologically determined to be malignant. There were 98 recurrences of neoplasms, of which 61 were resected and had stage and grade information available. The remaining 37 patients did not undergo surgical removal, and therefore their tumors could not be staged or graded (Tx, Gx).

Conclusion

The NMP22 BladderChek Test and its predicate device, the BTA Stat are technologically similar. The assay reactions (immunochromatography utilizing monoclonal antibodies), sample matrix (voided urine), procedural steps (addition of drops of urine to device), result interpretation (qualitative +/-), patient population (history of bladder cancer), and indication (aid in monitoring), are all similar.

Reproducibility of results with NMP22 BladderChek were excellent between laboratory technicians across lots, days and specimen panel levels. Overall percent of correct reads was 99.2%. A precision study using a prepared specimen panel of negative (2 U/mL). low positive (10 U/mL) and positive (15 U/mL) samples demonstrated 100% concordance between professional staff (n=2) and lay users (n=5). In addition, an investigation to evaluate performance of lay users compared to professional readers showed 96.4% overall concordance when professionals re-read tests performed by lay volunteers using their own urine, and 95.6% when the professionals re-tested the lay users' urine samples. The BTA Stat package insert states that reproducibility studies were performed to determine day-to-day, reader, lot-to-lot, and laboratory-tolaboratory variability. It reports that these studies showed nearly total agreement with the exception of samples near the limit of detection, thus non-clinical performance of the two devices is comparable.

In the prospective clinical trial performed with NMP22 BladderChek sensitivity was 45.9% (CI 35.8%, 56.3%) and specificity was 86.3% (CI 83.2%, 89.0%), with a positive predictive value of 36.6% (CI 28.1%, 45.8%) and a negative predictive value of 90.3% (C1 87.5%, 92.6%). The incidence rate of cancer in the study population was 14.7%. Per its package insert, BTA Stat demonstrated 67% (CI 60%, 73%) sensitivity and 70% (CI 61%, 79%) specificity. Because the performance for this device was determined using retrospective samples selected from a frozen bank, incidence rate could not be determined, so true positive and negative predictive values could not be calculated.

8

Using a range of theoretical incidence rates of 10%, 20% and 30%, the NMP22 BladderChek Test demonstrated positive predictive values of 27.1% to 58.9%, compared to 19.8% to 48.8% for BTA Stat. In addition, the overall accuracy (defined as test positive for patients with cancer and test negative for patients without cancer divided by the total number of patients) of NMP22 BladderChek was 80.3% compared to 67.9% for BTA Stat. This was due in part to the excellent specificity of BladderChek, resulting in fewer false positive results.

The non-clinical and clinical studies presented in this submission demonstrate that the clinical utility and performance of NMP22 BladderChek is equivalent or better than that of the predicate device, BTA Stat.
